The Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly planning to deal with the situation which he has termed as an ‘internal matter.’ Fans on the social media platform, X too are very furious with the unprofessional attitude from the Englishman.
The X user named ‘Harry’ was reminded of Jadon Sancho’s situation at United a couple of months ago. Sancho had fallen out with ten Hag and his work rate in the training sessions was questioned. The user wrote, “Expecting Sancho treatment and banish Rashford from the squad make him train with the u21s.” Manchester United loaned Jadon Sancho out to his former club Borussia Dortmund in January 2024 and ‘Harry’ expects the same treatment for Rashford.
Some even questioned Erik ten Hag’s comments on the Rashford matter. The user ‘Uncle Wilson’ even accused the manager and the coach of favoritism towards certain players. They wrote, “Always “internal matter” when it comes to certain favourites. Good luck to Manchester United, Erik ten Hag and Rashford. The user wanted the same treatment for every United player who behaves in an unprofessional manner.
The user, ‘KOT OCS’ had enough with Marcus Rashford and called out the club to sell the Englishman. ‘KOT OCS’ wrote, “It’s high time Man United consider selling this guy…. Got a very bad attitude” The user thinks Rashford’s attitude isn’t a good fit for the club and wants him gone out of United.
Finally, the user ‘Somalibae’ looked beyond frustrated with the Rashford situation. They wrote, “Wah we don’t have a football club here.” The comments are very justifiable since Manchester United’s off-field issues often create headlines and that too for the wrong reasons.
Erik ten Hag and Manchester United open up about Rashford’s absence
The Dutch tactician had a very cryptic response when asked about Rashford’s absence from the training session. The 53-year-old didn’t give too much information about how he is going to deal with the situation but ensured that Rashford won’t go unpunished. The former AFC Ajax manager said, “ “Marcus Rashford’s absence? It’s an internal matter”. He also informed that it’s an internal matter of the club and refused to give any further insights on it.

The Manchester United club also released a statement on the matter. Rashford is unavailable for selection as he is reportedly feeling a bit under the weather. The 3-time UEFA Champions League club said, ” “Rashford not well enough to be in the squad for Newport following illness; he has stayed at Carrington to train as he recovers”. Whatever it is, Marcus Rashford has been a professional player for many years now, and fans do not expect such ridiculous behavior from him.

During the same press conference, the Dutch tactician informed that both Johny Evans and Rashford were ill and recovering. The 46-year-old said, “This morning, Rashford was ill and Evans was ill. So we have to see how they recover.” However, it seems that social media has amusingly caught Rashford’s lie.
